1 / 12Limavady Cottage
Limavady, County Londonderry
A lovingly renovated single storey Irish cottage for six near Limavady, with an enclosed lawned garden wrapping around it, a wood burner in an inglenook and one dog welcome.
Limavady Cottage is a traditional Irish cottage in a secluded spot within the Binevenagh Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, close to the North Derry coast, with splendid countryside and mountain views. As a dog friendly cottage for six it welcomes one dog, and it is ideal for families and friends who love walking and being in nature.
Outside, an enclosed lawned garden wraps around the property, which the owners describe as just right for little ones and dogs to play safely. There is an outdoor table, chairs and a barbecue, so meals and drinks move outside while the dog explores the lawn.
The single storey cottage has been lovingly renovated to blend original features with contemporary comforts. The cosy lounge has comfortable seating, a wood burner set in an inglenook fireplace, with a starter pack of logs, and lovely country views from its large windows. The dog will be curled up by the fire before long. The kitchen and diner is flooded with natural light through a long arched window, and there is a utility room for laundry. Along the hallway are three elegant bedrooms, two doubles, one of them en suite, and a twin, with a family bathroom as well.
Magilligan Point Nature Reserve, 2.5 miles away, holds one of the largest sand dune systems in the British Isles, and Binevenagh Mountain, 5.5 miles off, is there to tackle with the dog. Benone beach has expansive golden sands where dogs are welcome through the low season, and the ferry from Magilligan crosses to the rugged Inishowen Peninsula for a memorable day out.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Limavady Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Limavady Cottage welcomes one dog. It's a particularly well-suited place for a dog holiday — the garden is fully enclosed all the way around the single storey building, so your dog can roam freely outside without you needing to worry about escape routes or checking gates every time a door opens.
Are dogs allowed at Limavady Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the owner directly to confirm availability for your dates. Given the cottage's practical setup — a utility room for wet coats and muddy paws, an enclosed garden and single storey layout — it feels designed with year-round dog visits in mind.
What should I know before visiting Limavady Cottage with my dog?
The cottage takes one dog, so it's not the right fit for multi-dog households. On the plus side, the setup is genuinely thoughtful: a fully enclosed wraparound garden means no fencing gaps to scout out, and there's a utility room off the hall for drying off after walks — handy given how much good walking there is on the doorstep, from the Binevenagh summit to Downhill Strand.
